2001 reissue, originally released in 1986. "Though they're not as well remembered as some of their contemporaries, British cult faves the Edgar Broughton Band played a key role in the late-1960s/early-'70s U.K. rock underground. As this compilation makes clear, they combined the unhinged freakiness of Arthur Brown with early-Pink Floyd space-cadet tendencies and raw, Stooges-like proto-punk for an arresting, idiosyncratic sound. Much of the angular, blues-inflected material here would sound at home on an early Captain Beefheart album, but there are also numerous low-key folk-rock moments providing crucial contrast. The roots of everything from the Birthday Party to the Swell Maps can be found here."

"In 1969 the Edgar Broughton Band played at the famous free concert in Hyde Park featuring Blind Faith, where Edgar's growling voice drew comparisons with Captain Beefheart. The following year they released the legendary single 'Out Demons Out,' a live version of which is included here. This album is comprised solely of previously unreleased recordings, most of which have been unearthed from the archives of BBC Radio 1. One track was recorded at the band's own studios in 1976. The 8-page booklet features comprehensive liner notes, several rare band photographs and full recording details."
